Dark and beautiful. And at the same time, warm and beautiful. This drama is a must-see.

This is a very beautiful drama with good acting and a different story line,it also has many characters development and each character is goning to leave you a good life lesson.

When the Camellia Blooms

The simple plot of a misfortune-magnet single mother who decided to begin her life on her own in a small town – has moved to a plot that does not have multiple bends. Nevertheless, the unfolding of how she found the courage to be a better version of herself through the support of her avid-suitor-turned-boyfriend and neighborhood friends made the story engrossing.

They have been married for eight years in what he believed was a strong relationship, until he catches on to a sign that his wife is on the verge of cheating. This pushes him to talk with anonymous people on online social networks to figure out what to do and try to save his marriage.

This series handles a sensitive topic in a way that’s thoughtful and doesn’t rely too much on emotional blowups or bickering between the main couple. And while it’s definitely a tearjerker at times, it does have comedic moments peppered throughout to lighten the mood as Hyun Woo tries to restore what once was.

A Gentleman’s Dignity

This drama will tell the story of four men in their forties as they go through love, breakup, success and failure. The story includes the romantic relationship between Kim Do Jin, an architect with a scathing tongue, and strict high school teacher Seo Yi Soo, who moonlights as an umpire at amateur baseball games. 

This drama is pretty silly and is by far the least mentally stimulating of the bunch. Although it revolves around a group of men in their 40s, it often feels more like watching a band of teenage boys as they ogle at women and behave in other childish ways.

Misty

One day, she meets an old lover and his wife and gets tangled in a murder case. Her husband Kang Tae Wook, who is a public defender, decides to defend his wife and fix their failed marriage.

Go Back Couple

Even though they loved each other when they married, they now hate each other. They both regret marrying at such a young age.

These recommended drama are more matured and on serious subject but any person of any age can definitely enjoy them but mostly we the grown ups enjoy them little bit more.
